The last thing many people think about when they’re suffering from a lower back injury, or any injury for that matter, is whether their fitness levels are good enough to help with the recovery process. Our fitness levels are increased by the amount of cardiovascular intensive training we perform and this is increased by regularly challenging the cardiovascular system through exercise. There are numerous ways to train the cardiovascular system effectively but when suffering from injury we want to make sure that we do this in a way which does not make the injury worse but instead helps to support the healing process.

In this episode we talk about the things you can do to safely ensure that you maintain, and even increase, your physical fitness levels. We explain why this is so important and how it affects the injury in a positive way. We also discuss which cardiovascular training exercises will help you increase your cardiovascular capacity safely.

Some of the things to consider:

• Have you honestly taken action to do some daily exercise to support your back and mental health?
• Could a proactive approach make you more resilient to future infections?
• How important is movement to your back health?
• Have you established a healthy morning routine to support your health and well-being?
• Do you want to come out of this pandemic better than you were at the beginning?!

Highlights

Understanding why your cardiovascular fitness is important in your recovery to injury is often overlooked and yet it can have a positive effect on tissue healing. Not only can you maintain your current levels of fitness but you can increase your fitness levels if you make wise decisions during your rehabilitation.
